Well with our 4x3 and 4x4 inch lift we can run 29" super swamper tsl's comfortably with minimal fender trimming. There two benefits to this size one they fit with minimal trimming (as said before) and two they work well with the underpowered EA 82 motor with dual range.

 

 

Super swamper tires which ones are you running . why did you pick that size and model.and how do they preform .Im in the market just not sure which ones to get . got any close up pictures of them mounted on your Ruu thanks Scott

Super Swamper TSL's 28 x 8.5 14LT I don't know why I chose them, I remember looking at LOTS of tires before I got them and I guess I just ended up with them.

They're awesome! I haven't had any problems with them other than they are a smidge big for the ea81. But with a weber I'm sure I could pull it off quite qell.

I run 28" SSR TSL's on my 14" Peugeot rims. Rims are 14x6 I believe.

 

Bias Ply flexes better, but with as much street driving I do, I decided a radial would be better suited for me. Which has turned out good. I try to air down a little bit, but not a lot, when on the trail.

 

I've lost one tire to a puncture, hit a sharp rock and got a jagged tear about the size of my thumb in it. (this is why I air down now, I was running at like 36psi)

So Scott, tell us why YOU chose the SSRs, inquiring mind want to know!

 

 

gearing for one thing, dint want to go bigger then 27 "

wanted a radial for quieter ride and on road traction

I like the side wall grippies

Super Swamper has thee most agressive tread in that small a tire

I live in the Northwest where most the offroading will include Mud

These tires will most likely end up on my Ultimate Offroader which will be a towed/trailered rig, maybe go with some Kuhmos on the Tow/Daily driver Turbo rig

Maybe you should get some super swampers then maybe just maybe you would like mud more.:brow:

 

It has nothing to do with the tires.

 

Super Sweampers work great on the rocks too.

 

I like driving on rocks more than mud; personal preference.

I tend to disagree on that one. If you had mud terrains I don't think you woulda got stuck here. Mainly because I went through some mud a while ago that was just as thick as that mud and none of my wheels were on dry dirt.

morgan doesn't hate mud because he get's stuck in it ;), HE just doesn't like getting dirty, he really is better off with A/T's, not to mention the fact that you have to drive for hours at freeway speeds to get to any trails here.
